Hiawatha Trail

January 16, 2017

The Route of the Hiawatha is a train track turned into a dirt bike trail. It's a shuttled route that is 15 miles long, it goes through 10 train tunnels and 7 sky high trestles. This trail is one of the coolest trails I've been on, not to mention the easiest to because it's all downhill. There is a 1.7 mile tunnel and it gets pretty dark and freezing in there. My hands seriously froze and I had to keep them warm in my pocket afterwards. The views are gorgeous and breath taking when you are on top of those trestles.

If you are interested in going I highly recommend it, even if you don't ride at all. It's that easy. When you get to the trailhead there is a group there you pay ($19) so that you can catch a ride back to your car when you reach the end. If you don't have a bike, they also rent them there too. It's also very family friendly so take the kiddos.
